Everyone panicked and rushed forward to help the old man up. At this moment, Nero and Neon noticed that the old man was no longer breathing. They were shocked and angry at this development. “What's going on? Why did he die all of a sudden?” Neon asked his brother angrily, flabbergasted by this outcome. Although the old man had always been unconscious, he was still alive. He could not accept this sudden turn of events. Neon stepped forward to hit the fat man, who avoided him nimbly. He stood in the corner and looked at the old man nervously. Philip saw the panic in his eyes. “How did this happen? I’ve never encountered any problems with this pill before,” the fat man muttered in disbelief, wondering why this happened. “You’re nothing but a fraud!” Neon wanted to kill him. Philip walked forward. He helped the old man up and stuffed a pill into his mouth. Nero wanted to stop Philip, but it was too late. Neon stopped chasing the fat guy and hurried back to the old man's
Everyone looked up blankly. Neon and Nero were ecstatic to see Declan, but the fat guy looked at him blankly, clearly not recognizing this old man. “It's great that you're here. Can you help us examine our father?” Neon rushed forward and brought Declan over warmly. Declan calmed down at Neon’s approach and followed him to the old man without any comment. “Please examine the old sir's condition. This buddy of mine just gave him a pill, and his condition has returned to normal for the time being,” Neon explained everything that had just happened. “I see. Since he has taken a pill, what else is there to examine? He has been cured for sure,” Declan said earnestly. The fat guy said, “That’s ridiculous. How can he recover after taking a pill? Do you think it’s a miracle pill? If a pill is really that useful, the old man wouldn’t have gone into shock after eating the pill I gave him!” Seeing his reaction, Philip stood up and said, “Whose apprentice did you say you were?” Phil
Although Neon was from a big family and had an immature mentality due to his pampered upbringing, he was ruthless and decisive. It would be a big mistake to think that it would be easy to fool him because he was young and naïve. The fat man was stunned to hear Declan's identity. “How is it possible? The top alchemist has gone missing. Why did this old man suddenly appear?” The fat man scowled. It would be over if it was the truth. “Cut the crap and catch hold of him. I want to teach him a good lesson!” Neon said fiercely. Nero pinned the fat man to the floor furiously. Philip sighed and turned his attention to the old man. After his treatment, the old man returned to normal and purged all the dirty blood in him. The floor was covered in black blood and dead bugs, a ghastly sight. The old man slowly woke up. He glanced around weakly, looking for his family members. Neon ran over and looked at him with great concern. “Dad, you’re finally awake!” Neon said excitedly.
The man was flabbergasted that his secret had been exposed. “If you don’t tell the truth, your family may be affected in the future. If I’m not mistaken, your family members have been impacted to a certain extent,” Philip said calmly. He had seen through everything. Philip knew quite a lot about this legendary secret technique. Neon and Nero looked at their father, who did not look too good. The two of them said in unison, “Dad, you should tell us or we may be implicated. Besides, it sounds like someone is out to get you. I guess that person won't let you go.” They were very concerned about their father's health. He probably would not be able to withstand it if the other party attacked him again. Everyone scowled at the thought of this. Philip sighed. He could not do anything if the old man refused to say it. The man struggled for a long time and finally decided. “Back then, I went to the South Cloud Region, also known as South City.” Philip sat on a stool and prepared
“You got that right. I was wondering why Mom passed away for no reason when she was in good health!” Nero was upset too. He never dreamed that his father’s old sweetheart would harm his mother to that extent. Philip pointed at Neon. “You were facing the same situation, but your reaction wasn't that obvious because you’re still young. You would've probably found your health failing in a few years,” Philip said calmly. Neon grimaced and wished he could kill that woman! No wonder his body was never fully developed. This was the reason! At this time, Nero looked at Philip nervously, wondering if he was affected too. Philip seemed quite good at this, so he wanted to ask Philip to examine him. “Excuse me, sir, can you examine me too?” Nero looked at Philip eagerly, hoping that Philip could solve his problem. Philip scrutinized Nero and found something, indeed. “Have you been feeling weak recently, always feel uncomfortable as if bugs are crawling all over your body? “Do
Nero rushed to Philip and begged Philip to save him. “Philip, it’d be great if you could help me!” Nero looked at Philip expectantly, ready to give Philip all his fortune. “I can give you all my money. Please save me!” Nero said humbly. Philip was not used to such humbleness. “No problem. You just need to buy a pill to save your life. Your problems are not such a big deal. Here you go.” Philip handed a pill to Nero. The pill was sold in his store, so Philip did not think highly of it. Nero was moved by Philip’s words. He took the pill from Philip and swallowed it in one gulp. He respected Philip very much. Philip smiled in satisfaction as Nero took the pill. Neon and the old man stared at Nero curiously, waiting to see what would happen. After Nero took the pill, he was shocked to find some changes happening in his body. The sensation of crawling bugs disappeared, and his limbs became very warm and comfortable. “I feel like I'm back to normal,” Nero said in surprise
Nero and Neon looked at each other, shocked to hear that their father was prepared to kill for them. At the same time, they realized something. “Dad, if she’s that powerful, can we even put up a fight?” Neon asked nervously. Their family members had been suffering for a while, so none of them were very strong. They might have to hire outside help for this. “We need to find some powerful hunters to help us. We can form a large force and go to South City to hunt her down!” Nero was very pissed with the other party for harming him for no reason. Who could bear it? The conflict was between the older generation, nothing to do with them at all. Now that things had progressed this way, he was unwilling to show mercy. “That’s right. Since this woman wants to harm us, we have no reason to hold back. We should let her family members have a taste of their own medicine!” Everyone was eager to take action and vent their frustration. “Buddy, why don’t you help us?” Neon turned his
Aslan was sitting on a stool looking at the scenery, nearly bored out of his mind. Practice was not important to him at all. With his ability, he could improve his strength even if he did not practice, so he simply slept or daydreamed his day away. Aslan smiled brightly to see Philip returning in high spirits. “Hey, Philip, why do you look so excited? Any good news for me?” Aslan greeted him affectionately. Philip nodded. “Declan, I’ll give you a different pill-making method now. I want you to stay here and guide the kids in learning this new method. Learning it as soon as possible will be very beneficial to you,” Philip said with a smile, taping Declan on the head. The next moment, Declan felt as if he had an epiphany and understood many things. “That’s great! I can finally teach Lyle again.” Declan was in a good mood and ran back to his room as if he had regained his youth. The technique Philip taught him could help rejuvenate him. The more he practiced it, the yo
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Ronan would take action without paying any heed to them. Cameron panicked and ordered his men to stop Ronan, “Guards, take action! You have to stop Ronan!” His face turned pale, and he wished that the guards could kill Ronan. However, he suddenly remembered the deal between the businessman and himself. “Wait, don’t kill him. I want him alive. I need him for something important!” Cameron shouted nervously as if he was sure that his guards would defeat Ronan. Other than the guards, other family members also stepped forward. They wanted to show off their strength. Seeing this, Philip waved to Ronan. He would take action if required. Ronan waved his hand indifferently in response. He did not need Philip’s help for now. He was strong enough to take care of it. At this time, Rabbit appeared drowsily. Rabbit led a carefree life, and Philip always let him be, so he was an idle rabbit. After Cameron and the others saw Rabbit, their e
Ronan became more confident after the chat with Philip. If anyone dared to mess with him, he would not hesitate to teach them a good lesson. Cameron looked around but did not see Rabbit. He was worried but went straight to the point. “My child, after all these years, have you finally decided to return to the family?” Cameron smiled as he attempted the emotional approach as if Ronan had lived outside over the years because of his own decision. Hearing that, Ronan coughed and nearly threw up. Cameron was really good at blaming him. “What do you mean? Did I ask you to kick me out of the house?” Ronan's eyes flashed with anger. As a weak and powerless child back then, he was kicked out of the house right after his mother’s death. That feeling was really humiliating. All his grievances over the years exploded at this point. He could not tolerate these hypocritical people anymore. Cameron noticed Ronan’s reaction and knew that it was bad. This matter was out of his control. Ronan
“Since you've accepted my things, you should…” Cameron rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Rabbit smugly and expectantly. His men looked at Rabbit in delight. It would be great if they could get storage space. Rabbit shook his head in disdain. “What are you thinking? Do you think you’re worthy of me? You don’t even have a measly storage space. Who are you to bargain with me?” Rabbit kicked the nearest person away. “Don’t bother me again or that’ll be your outcome!” He hopped back into the house. He was not afraid that they would mess with him. Cameron was shocked that Rabbit would go back on his word after taking their things. He was furious. Those were the treasures of the family. It would be a disaster if they lost them. However, it was clearly not the right time to dwell on it. Cameron decided to talk to Rabbit again tomorrow. He had to talk to Ronan anyway. It would be best if he could fool them. “Let’s get some rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow morning
Cameron persuaded Rabbit excitedly. In his opinion, he was halfway to success. Rabbit nodded. “Give me what you have for now. At least show me your sincerity. You should know that the guy inside offered me a high price!” Rabbit fooled Cameron. He wanted to know what Cameron could come up with. Just crystals alone would be a letdown. Hearing that, Cameron waved to his men, signaling them to take out all the good things from the warehouse, at least to fool Rabbit for the time being. His men reluctantly went to the warehouse and took out all the treasures they had collected. Anyway, it was just for show and would not really be given to the rabbit, so they did not object. It would be a great deal if these treasures could attract a guardian beast. Rabbit nodded with satisfaction at these things. He waved his hand, and everything vanished from those people’s hands. Everyone was shocked and wondered what was going on. There was no such thing as storage space in this world. They ha
It felt good to have a capable henchman around. Philip could not be bothered to waste his precious time on these losers. Cameron and his men reached the door when a rabbit fell from the sky. The old woman and the others knew the rabbit’s habits and warned everyone to watch out. However, the elites were caught off guard and looked around blankly, wondering what was going on. The next moment, the loudmouthed man was knocked to the ground. Rabbit landed on the guy and started punching and kicking, certain that the man would suffer the utmost pain from this beating. Cameron and the others were dumbfounded by this scene. They had heard of powerful spirit pets but had never seen a rabbit as a spirit pet. The rabbit was good at fighting, so it should not be an ordinary creature. “Go away and stop bothering us. I’ll kill you if I don’t get a good night’s sleep! Let me show you what I can do!” Rabbit swung his fists seemingly at random, but every punch landed. Cameron stood far aw
At this time, Cameron and his men returned in the middle of the night. He saw the Claude family members crying as soon as he returned. They were bruised and battered from a beating, looking utterly miserable. Cameron was furious that someone would dare to bully his family members while he was away. “What's going on? Why are you in this state? Did someone cause trouble while I was away?” Cameron was angry and in disbelief, feeling that something was strange. Everyone nodded nervously. “Ronan is here!” The old woman who suffered the worst beating was very upset and glared viciously in Ronan’s direction. “Cameron, although you left me in charge while you were away, I can’t do it anymore. Ronan kept messing with us and even brought some people to beat us up!” The old woman made up stories and described Ronan as an unforgivable evildoer. Cameron scowled, but he could not believe it. “What did you say? Ronan actually hit someone?” He was unwilling to believe it. Although Ronan
Philip took out some fine wine, which was worthless to him but priceless to Ronan. Ronan laughed at Philip’s nonchalance and patted his shoulder. The two of them sat down and started drinking. Rabbit joined in the fun and swallowed the wine in big gulps. Although the alcohol content was a bit high for Rabbit, he enjoyed it happily. They quickly felt slightly tipsy. Although they were practitioners, they did not use any techniques to sober up. It was okay to be a little intoxicated as long as it did not affect them too much. It was rare to find a friend who they could click so well with, so it was a blessing to get drunk together. As they drank happily, the aroma of the wine wafted out. Everyone smelled the fragrance and looked for the source of the scent. They quickly found Ronan's residence and scowled. That smell proved that he had to be drinking good wine in there. “How is he worthy of such fine wine?” “Just a whiff of that wine clears my head, so it has to be good s
Although victory was not confirmed, they had to take part. Since the other party said so, they had no choice but to win. At the thought of the other major families, Cameron scowled as he felt the pressure. “I heard that you have a non-human descendant in your family,” the other party said with a smile, but it was uncertain if his intention was to mock Cameron or to find out some information. The Claude family scowled as they instantly figured out who the other party was talking about—Ronan. This person had disgraced the whole family. “We do have someone like that in our family. Back then, one of our youths was restless and impulsive…” Cameron wanted to explain, but the other party interrupted him. The mysterious man smiled with satisfaction at Cameron’s admittance. “If that’s the case, it’s great. Let this person take part in the competition. I’m interested in his strength and want to try it out in person. “Other than your victory, this person has to take part in the comp
By treating Ronan badly, the people would receive some rewards from the higher-ups. After a while, everyone got used to it. Even the wine sold to Ronan was cheap wine that no one wanted. “There’ll be a place for me in the world somehow!” Philip shook his head. These people’s attitude was strange, indeed, but he did not think that they could not find a roof over their heads. Since the Claude family was so arrogant, they could take over their place. Thinking of this, Philip took them back to the Claude family's manor and knocked on the door with a smile on his face. The guards were horrified to see Philip and Ronan again. They did not forget how badly they were beaten earlier. Thus, no one dared to stop them from marching in for fear that they would be beaten again. They could not afford the consequences. The Claude family quickly learned about their appearance. They scowled, their faces turning ashen. “Why are you here again?” “We already told you that they won't be ba
